Sensitize me to
your allergens: Red, White, Blue,
or Green and Orange---with
Blu-blockers on.

Take me to the stores,
and poison me a little more.
Ten-thousand to one are
high odds, you'll see.

Round me out in chains.
Blame me for your dire
confusion.
It's okay. It's not okay---
I am trying not to worry about it.
Time hurries on,
and the earth still turns.

Revolutions can be breathtaking to watch, and distance allows the luxury of complacence, but just for a little while.

As you pointed out, time hurries on.

No cookie cutter poem here, dearest easy.

I love it.

Thank you all for your very kind comments. Like most of my offerings here this comes from direct experience.

bel1e and serenity, you have inspired me to find and relisten REM's Document, which I find as timely now as twenty years ago when it was real dance material. Thank you, and we shall see.
